This extension is the official top-level domain of the Soviet Union.
Even though the USSR (Soviet Union) dissolved in December 1991 and the extension had to be abandoned, as was the case for others such as .dd (East Germany) and .yu (Yugoslavia), .SU is still online after 25 years and counts more than 100,000 active domain names.
The .SU extension is open to everyone. However, the registry will review the application on a case-by-case basis and may request additional documents before approving or refusing it (passport, id card, certificate of incorporation...).
Starting September the 1st of 2026, all domain name's holders of a Russian extension must register themselves on the Gosuslugi platform, managed by the Russian Government.
Due to the complexity of registration and management processes, our trustee service is mandatory.
There is no specific procedure related to the registration of a domain name.
.SU domain names are allocated on a "first come, first served" basis.
In order to transfer your domain name to Netim, you must disable transfer protections and obtain the authorisation code from your current Registrar.
The transfer may take several days.
The domain expiration date is not affected by the transfer process.
In order to obtain the procedure for changing the holder of your domain name, do not hesitate to contact us.
Each action on a domain name is managed in our system with an operation. Here are the types of operations supported by this extension. Please note that you can use these operations with our SOAP and REST APIs.
